Quality 3/5Difficulty 3/5

Professor Loeza was mediocre. He moves very quickly through lectures but often revisits the material. The tests are straightforward, and there is one major paper assignment. The homework is exactly like the problems done in class. Overall not too challenging of a class, but definitely not the most exciting.
